Illegal immigration hurts all of us except the businesses and the people who hire them. It also hurts the ones who choose to come to this country legally. The people who say that this is not a crime and that the illegals should be allowed to stay here need to look at the facts.

First in the last few years Americans at the middle class and below have seen their wages not keep up and one of the reasons for this is the cheap supply of labor coming across the border. If I am a business owner and I need to control my labor cost who is I going to hire, someone who I have to pay $ 20 per hr., or one that 10 and no benefits most would go for a $ 10. This forces the US citizen to take a lower wage.

Second, if company A can get a lower wage person he can sell what he make cheaper than the company who goes by all the rules and hires only a legal worker. He also has to treat his employee’s right and he can not take advantage of them.

Third how would you like it if you lived in another country and were going by all the rules and waiting your turn to come over here and someone just jumped ahead of you by crossing over the border?

Last if we do not control our borders we will not be a nation any more and my guess is that is what some of the pro illegal’s want.
